HotelWedding VenueConference CenterBusiness Meeting LocationsHotel Indigo
Step Into the Soul of 1960s Minneapolis at Hotel Indigo. Located in downtown Minneapolis, our newly reimagined hotel blends modern comfort with vintage charm. Set in the historic Northstar Center—opened in 1963 as the city’s first mixed-use development—our hotel was once the iconic Northstar Inn, a mid-century marvel that helped launch the Minneapolis skyway system. Our building, part of a visionary project that included the Cargill and Pillsbury buildings, was once called a “city within a city.” Just steps away, you’re near the birthplace of a beloved, doughy kitchen character who’s been making America smile since the 1960s—a nod to the city’s warm, whimsical legacy. Explore Nicollet Mall, Loring Park, and the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Catch a show at the Orpheum, State, or Pantages Theatres, or head to iconic music venues like First Avenue and The Armory. Whether you're here for a conference at the Minneapolis Convention Center, a game at Target Field or U.S. Bank Stadium, or a nostalgic getaway, our location puts you at the center of it all. With easy access to the Metro Light Rail, you’re minutes from MSP Airport, the Mall of America, and the University of Minnesota.

    Pubes left in the bathroom and used bandaids underneath the bed; PLEASE just choose somewhere else.

    Annoying key card situation with the elevator. Very inconvenient for my guest and does nothing for safety. I always drop a star in the rating for any hotel that sets up this contrivance

    Had a wonderful experience at Hotel Indigo Minneapolis. The staff were so delightful to interact with throughout our whole stay. The building is historic but nicely renovated. Loved the theme and thought this hotel felt every bit as modern and fun as other Hotel Indigo locations I’ve stayed in. It’s conveniently connected to the Minneapolis skyway. The connected Star Bar & Bistro was cute. Cocktails and staff were great. For those driving here, I was also pleased to see how vigilant the connected parking garage staff were about safety/security. Look forward to returning!

    Good hotel for a 3- star. Very clean and amazing security precautions. Only think I would point out is that sometimes I found the walls to be ‘thin’ so at times I would hear cleaning noises and music, but not to the point where it would distract me or disturb my sleep/day (very minimal) Overall would recommend
